But turnthe key only with your hand. Using a tool to force could break the key it or the ignition switch. If none of works, then this your vehicle needs service. With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn the switch to five different positions.

Your steering wheel will remain locked, just as it was before you inserted the key. Starting Your Engine Engines start differently. The 8th digit of your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) shows the code letter or number for your engine. You will find the VIN at the top left of your instrument panel. (See "Vehicle Identification Number'' in the Index.) Follow the proper steps to start the engine. (B) Lock: Before you put the key in, your ignition will be in the Lock position. This position locks your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It's an theft deterrent feature. 80
